It is very important to understand that murals are more than just paintings on walls.
They are neither billboards nor wallpaper. For example, painting "the mural" on a piece
of canvas at some studio in California, and after rolling it in a mailing tube, sending
it for pasting to a distant location elsewhere should be a disturbing concept for any
professionally trained muralist. Unlike easel paintings, murals must be regarded
and created as integral visual elements of the architecture to which they apply.
This requires their execution to be performed on location and that is why this artist
always insists to work in this manner which enables him to evaluate the work
throughout its evolution, taking in consideration immediate influential components
such as the prevailing mood and style of the architecture, the dominant surrounding
coloration, various observational points, the ever-changing lighting conditions, etc.
This provides for the completed artwork to become an aesthetic complement to the
architecture and not just a motley patch frivolously thrown into the building
environment. Working in such manner may not always be the most cost or time
efficient process but with time none of these will matter to the viewer, and no
accounting efficiency will neither justify nor excuse any aesthetic flaws of the artwork.
